I havn't seen any point in this thread since post #1.

+1 I havnt been on BS for long, nor do I post that much on the majority of things, but It is apparent that there are several members (won't name names) who do the above and think that their opinion is one that rules all. Hopefully they get 'filtered' out.

Gee I can see the mods closing this threads that get closed thread real fast. Ha
-
Hells yeah Cam that would be so sick. BMW Hubcaps FTW

Not enough displacement FTW I should start a club....lol

Welcome Steve, pics of the bimmer are compulsory . Some of the Dukes wouldn't go amiss either. Will learn a truckload on here.

Cheers bro. It's a 316iR now, wait till you see my badging when I get the lid back from the painters. LOL

Sorry to hear about the car man. Least your all good. Sadly one less Calypso Red Beast on here
-
Cheers bro. Haha but Alpine White looks so much better. Maybe not this week...

Thanks guys. Um the fraser just has a standard Toyota 4AGE Twin Cam 16 valve straight off a taxi lol. Goes pretty hard, Dad really wants to upgrade to a 20v later generation with quad throttle bodies. Its about on pace with the race series guys at Manfield, still has drums at the back and road tyres which is what lets the package down, oh and a open diff but its still all fun.

Bumpage for pics. Doesn't help its looks rolling on black bikkies but you get the idea, have added a pic of my dads Fraser Clubman with my mates in it (who have helped me a ****load with all the yuck jobs so far) for comparison of badassness Really needs a clean, hasn't had one or seen daylight in atleast 4 months, when my bootlid is back it will get the million dollar treatment. Comments are welcome, I am suprised how low it is, for reference have measured it at 120mm at the sump, may have to think about a sump guard???
-
Well the front suspension it is rolling and it's looking ultra low and badass, completely changed the look of the car. Have work now, but pics to follow in the next coming hours
-
As above, would prefer either semi used (60-70% + life in them) or brand new if anyone in the race series can hook me up with a discount Just mainly if any of the racers/race series guys have any spare sets etc or something similar to a r888 semi slick in 15 inch particulary lying around. Shipping from Auckland isn't a problem. Cheers, Nathan

Yo they are sick ay, the common theme of the project, 'backyard as' I love them, I love making up my own custom stuff in my head rather than getting someone else to do it and using theirs

Yeah, unsure of the number. though, in saying that, if its the fuse the rest of the gauges wouldnt work, does everything else work fine?
